A380 FBW Test Flight

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

The sounds when he landed (touchdown/reversers/shake) were just sensational.  They seem to be further along than I thought.

Is this upload approved by FBW?

very strange to see this from a random account. 

Apart from that the aircraft looks amazing.

Before anyone gets too excited - the A380 is still a year or two away, minimum. I heard that from a FBW dev.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Wow those take off and landing sounds are beautiful

It's not exactly endorsed, but it was a public stream on the fbw discord and it's not like you can stop people from sharing it.

The main streamer literally asked for it not to be put on YouTube and speaks for nearly two minutes to say that further A380 demonstrations to the Discord group would stop if the stream went public. 🤷‍♂️

It does look like there's a fair bit of work left to do. The EFIS wasn't displaying data correctly and the A/P and A/T weren't used either either, suggesting that they're not reliable for use yet.

Great to see the level of detail being put into this.
I think it will be my long-haul aeroplane of choice once it becomes available - I'll just have to continue waiting impatiently for it!

Looks like they have made some great progress since the last info was posted, It's going to be a stunner...

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung  NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive

Looking real good, man I hope they release something for public use by 1Q23 (I'll take alpha quality even), absolutely cannot wait for my most favorite heavy ever.

Looks like FBW are ok with this being posted given the the pinned/top comment on the YT video?, also FSElite posted this below where they said FBW ok'd the video, but who knows as some FBW'ers on their discord don't seem happy this was put out on YT

Figured that, people are getting way too excited too soon from one video, my guess was late 23 to mid 2024 for a release. These guys are not doing this full time.

Looking at the Video that aircraft is far from ready for prime time. It looks like it gonna be awesome in about 2 years.

Well, I got it in youtube page just as I oppened it and copied the link to paste it here.

Wasn't aware it was a private video 😕

Anyway, just clicked it and it is still available even without logging into my youtube account...

Sorry to the FBW team if this was unwanted, but all I can say is that it really looks promissing !!!

it's incredibly naive of them to think something posted on the internet will remain private/under their control

This isn’t on you, as you merely found the video and reported on it here.  Perhaps FBW should more carefully vet who they invite to their discord accounts.

it’s also reported here in FSNews.
